Anyone knows if there's an alternative? Qt4 front end like smplayer would be preferable to me. don't know about alternatives, but gnome-mplayer with -gnome use flag (and the same holds for gecko-mplayer) is just a simple gtk app, just like firefox itself, nothig gnome specific about it and theoretically it can look better in firefox than qt apps, because they both use the same engine/theme ;) with -gnome it also doesn't bring in any gnome dependencies... its just that it is named gnome-... (well, because when you enable it, it can becamu a full gnome app..., though I really don't know what gnome features it uses ;) yoyo
[gentoo-user] Playing Apple Trailers
What's the trick for playing Apple Trailers these days? It used to work fine years ago, but now all I get is a pop-up telling me to download Apple's Quicktime player. :-( I looked for mplayer USE flags to enable it, but can't find any. I did find media-libs/libquicktime, but I am not sure if this is needed or which video player will use it. -- Regards, Mick signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

You have to use $ mplayer -user-agent=QuickTime/7.6.2 http://trailers.apple.com/movies/disney/aliceinwonderland/aliceinwonderland-clip1_480p.mov $ echo user-agent=QuickTime/7.6.2 ~/.mplayer/config The links on the web pages don't work for me - I search for the URL in the HTML-source :( Bye, Daniel -- PGP key @ http://pgpkeys.pca.dfn.de/pks/lookup?search=0xBB9D4887op=get # gpg --recv-keys --keyserver hkp://subkeys.pgp.net 0xBB9D4887 signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature

Hi, I installed www-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer version 0.9.9.2 (masked with keywords ~alpha ~amd64 ~hppa ~ppc ~ppc64 ~x86) recently and this works great with the Apple Trailers. It pulls in gnome-mplayer, which requires mplayer of course. I compiled them with the following use flags, just in case you need them: [ebuild R ] media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc4_p20091026-r1 USE=3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac alsa ass bidi cddb cdio dirac dts dv dvd dvdnav enca encode esd faac faad gif iconv ipv6 jack jpeg live mad mmx mmxext mng mp3 network openal opengl osdmenu oss png quicktime rar real rtc schroedinger sdl shm speex sse svga theora toolame tremor truetype twolame unicode vorbis win32codecs x264 xscreensaver xv xvid xvmc -aalib (-altivec) -bindist -bl -bs2b -cdparanoia - cpudetection -custom-cpuopts -debug -dga -directfb -doc -dvb -dxr3 -fbcon -ftp -ggi -gmplayer -joystick -ladspa -libcaca -lirc -lzo -md5sum -nas -nut - opencore-amr -pnm -pulseaudio -pvr -radio -samba -sse2 -ssse3 -teletext -tga - v4l -v4l2 -vdpau -vidix -xanim -xinerama -zoran VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia -mga - s3virge -tdfx 15,153 kB [ebuild R ] media-video/gnome-mplayer-0.9.9.2 USE=alsa libnotify -gnome -ipod -musicbrainz -pulseaudio 0 kB [ebuild R ] www-plugins/gecko-mediaplayer-0.9.9.2 USE=-gnome 0 kB Cheers Christian Am Montag, 22.
